HAIKU
“A haiku is not a poem, it is not literature; it is a hand beckoning, a door half-opened, a mirror wiped clean. It is a way of returning to nature, to our moon nature, our cheery blossom nature, our falling leaf nature; in short, to our Buddha nature. It is a way in which the cold winter

NEH XI - The Haiku Dance

Mila said Jun 16, 2008, 12:18 AM:

 

Got inspired with the scintillating imageries of flippers flop to beat, spinning protons & electrons, swirling dust, Neptune's fluid dance and more.  Then the grooving and foot tickling tunes in NEH X Duel Tunes.

So can't help but birth this NEH Haiku Dance!  Looking forward to more surprises in haiku's syllabic 5-7-5 dance from our prolific haiku-istas and warm welcome to all newcomers.

Feel free to craft your own rhytmical lines, with or without the YouTube links, but surely music can bring Haiku dance to imaginative heights.

Are you ready?

Haiku dance beckons
let this groove, light up your fuse
we're stayin' alive.

Oh, wow! Kudos to all you haiku afficcionados for dancing here like no one's watching while I was away.  Though it was only for 2 days, it felt like much longer. 

What wonderful creations!  And spiced up by  some real insane and outrageous lines and videos that made me chuckle in delight, and lost my mind for a while!  I can see you all had a blast while I was away and am so grateful for all these surprises.  

Without further ado,
